Hello everybody!

What does "any good" mean?

We ran through the list, but none of the machines seemed any good.

I hope you'll understand the usage of 'any'.

 

[Roman55]

If it's helpful think of, 'none of the machines seemed any good' as being equivalent to, 'all of the machines seemed no good'.

"any" comes in front of a noun, I don't understand why it came in front of an adjective!!!
